I have seen several other users that have started posting spam comment just like man,woman,robot,etc. If you look at their best answers then you will see that they used to answer normaly. Look at robot's best answers and you can see that he used to be human.
I've seen three other users posting the same spam as man. When Iooked at their answers all of the recent ones were spam, but a few old ones were regular answers.
All of them except man and woman used to be human.
Do you think that man is hacking into peoples accounts? This is weird and makes no sense!

It's also possible that people are mocking Man's spam. Why they would do that though, I have no idea.
Whoever is behind this is obviously a hacker, how else would they be able to get to level 7 within three or four days. Within an hour man's account has accumulated an extra 1000 points!
Y! really needs better security. Y! also needs a better report response team. I haven't reported man, but others have and Man still hasn't been banned.
It's all crazy1

They likely clicked on his linkage...word has it, it's rancid with bots and viruses.
Also, it seems this bot, or the people behind it, are able to hack the Report Abuse System to the point that if you a) ask a question, b) IT answers first, c) and you Report the thing for Abuse, IT will freeze your Question.
Really, I'd link you to my Question and show you, but I don't want to even *remotely* risk being a part of the problem at this point, sorry. It is, however, the only Active Question going at my Profile currently. View at own risk. Update: Nah, SCREW THIS! I deleted the question, I do *not* want to have my Account compromised. Sorry. It isn't like I can't get the points back, but the Question freeze was just too creepy for words--and to think this may well be ALL YAHOO'S FAULT too.
And don't be surprised if come Monday, Yahoo finds out one of those "lovely" people they outsourced all the Answers work to is actually the one responsible for making the Bots.
Not that anyone at Yahoo Answers cares, because nobody speaks English there anymore, courtesy of said outsourcing.

Nice observation and thank's for the warning. It wouldn't surprise me, but I think that maybe robot and the others are normal people, if they were a bot like man, they would have thousands of points too. But anyway, it wouldn't surprise me. I didn't know there was a "woman" too. lol

I know, it doesn't make any sense! He's just a hacker/spammer. There is a "woman" too?!?! Well some people's accounts just get haccked by spammers (when people get their passwords) and they don't know about it and can't do anything but delete the question.

and yohoo ignores their guidline,
NO REPEATED POSTINGS: You may not post similar or identical postings. This also applies if you are including the same commercial URL on all of your postings for the purpose of directing commercial activity to a non-Yahoo! site. Multiple identical postings, even if legitimate, may be considered spam.

I don't know what it is but it's super annoying.. and if people want to join in- they're just childish. This is a Q&A site if you have no information/opinions to give then just leave.
